one pollle had romney down by five. he had gained mostly undecided voters saying romney passes the basic competence test. obama 49% in these polls only inched forward by another point or so. he can basically clinch it. >> he doesn't have to get all the undecideds, you labeled ohio as the state that is going to be the most decisive in this election. obviously, obama was ahead in ohio. can you predict how last night's debate has done in ohio specifically. >> i don't know if it was an ohio kind of debate more than a virginia kind of debate. it was fairly technical. obama speaking so-called high information voters, i think maybe the town hall will be more important for ohio. ohio is a problem for romney, he is behind by a wider margin than the nothing polls. usually ohio is part of the country as a whole. romney, it would still be a winnable election for him. it might have gotten totally out of hand where you lose all the swing states. >> it was really heading in a different direction. in your new book, you actually describ

today when he said this. >> romney: the reason it has come down this year is primarily due to the fact more and more people have just stopped looking for work. but if the same share of people were participating in the work force today as when the president got elected our unemployment would be around 11%. >> jennifer: so they are either undermining the recovery or there must be a conspiracy. with the day that that fails to support their policies the right has resorted to conspiracy, and who better to show how far the so-called party of business has fallen than jack welsh, romney support and former ceo of general electric a titan of capitalism. today he traded in his green eye shades for a tin hat and tweeted this . . . >> jennifer: and then just in case you rubbed your guys in disbelief -- he didn't really just say that bureau of labor statistics is cooking the books for president obama would you. then he doubled down on it on tv. >> it just defies the imagination to have a surge larger than -- any surge since 1983 a month before the election. i leave it to you to do all of the analysi

i tend to lean towards romney's position on this. i think we need to do a little bit more, but i'm relieved that neither wants to send a lot of weapons to the insurgents at this point. i they would be a mistake. >> jennifer: romney was critical of the president's foreign policy for mission creep, but he is making a distinction here is that your correct? >> yes. and also on libya. >> jennifer: we are not helping rebels to get arms now; is right? >> i think we are helping. but keeping the weapons short of let's say advanced aircraft. >> jennifer: but then there really isn't much of a difference between what he is proposing and what the president is doing. it's just that what the superintendent doing is more subtle than overt. and i'm wondering which one of those is best for america. >> i would say it's not worth basing your vote on the distinction between them because there isn't much. as i think more though the defense spending difference is actually important. here i take the president's side. governor romney has suggested the presid

it was out front in the debate, difficult to take back and joining me to break down more of mitt romney's debate lies and president obama's performance is christine pelosi. christine chairs the california democratic party women's caucus. you can find her political analysis on politico's arena section. welcome back inside "the war room." does that energy misstatement drive you crazy, too? >> i think it is so wrong of mitt romney to talk in the way he does. first of all, he was out there talking about the oil and gas subsidies because they had been there 100 years. a lot of things are different now than they were 100 years ago. thank god. second of all, he took more risks in one single year at bain capital on any given year than have been taken here. i think really his problem is he can't decide who obama is. some days he's a socialist or a capitalist. he needs to make up his mind. the truth is coming out and it will catch up to mitt romney. >> jennifer: there is a ton of material from last night. what drives you most crazy? >> the lie that he told when he said he cared about the middle cla
